This historical map titled Austria Inferior (Lower Austria) depicts the territorial extent and administrative geography of the duchy in the early 18th century. Hand-coloured in soft yellow and green tones, the map outlines rivers, towns, roadways, and natural features with exceptional precision. An elaborate cartouche in the lower right corner features allegorical figures representing geography, commerce, and cartography, surrounding the map's Latin title and dedication.
Christoph Weigel (1654–1725) was a renowned engraver and publisher from Nuremberg who specialized in highly detailed topographical and heraldic works. His maps of Austrian territories were both decorative and functional, intended for noble, administrative, and scholarly use. This engraving exemplifies his integration of baroque ornamentation with Enlightenment-era cartographic clarity.
